Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about Inkfluence AI

Getting Started

How do I create my first ebook?
Click "Create Your Book" on your dashboard. Describe your book idea in plain language, pick a tone, and Inkfluence generates a full outline with chapters. Review and tweak the outline, then hit generate. The AI writes every chapter for you in minutes. After that you can edit, add a cover, and export.
What are chapter credits and how do they work?
Each chapter the AI generates uses one chapter credit. Free users start with 5 credits and get 5 more on the 1st of each month. Creator plan members get 35 per month. Premium members get unlimited chapters. You can also buy one-time credit top-ups (15 for $9.99 or 25 for $12.99) that work on any plan and never expire.
Is there an iOS app?
Yes! Inkfluence AI is available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. Your projects sync automatically between the web app and the iOS app through your account.

AI Writing Assistant

How does AI book generation work?
Describe your book idea (for example "a cookbook of 30-minute Italian meals" or "a romance novel set in Paris"). Inkfluence detects the genre, selects the best blueprint from 27 specialised book types, and writes a structured outline. Once you approve, it generates every chapter with proper structure, section headings, and consistent voice. Full books are ready in minutes.
What book types and genres are supported?
Inkfluence has 27 specialised blueprints including practical guides, fiction, romance novels, cookbooks, workbooks, study guides, lead magnets, playbooks, biographies, children's books, devotionals, travel guides, workout plans, true crime, technical documentation, and more. The AI adapts its structure and writing style to each type automatically.
Can I edit the AI-generated content?
Absolutely. Every chapter opens in a full rich-text editor where you can rewrite, rearrange, and polish the content however you like. You can also highlight text and use "Enhance with AI" to rewrite a section in a different tone, expand it, convert it to bullet points, or condense it.
What languages are supported?
Inkfluence generates books in 30+ languages. The AI detects the language from your description and writes the entire book, including section headings and export labels, in that language. Supported languages include Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and many more.
What is the daily AI generation limit?
The daily limit applies to individual AI enhancements (rewriting a paragraph, expanding a section, etc.) inside the editor. Free: 3 per day. Creator: 15 per day. Premium: 50 per day. Full book generation uses chapter credits, not daily limits.

Design & Customization

How do I design a book cover?
Open any project and go to the Cover Designer. You can design manually using templates, backgrounds, fonts, and colors, or use AI-generated covers powered by GPT Image. Customize everything from layout to typography, then save. Your cover is automatically included in all exports.
Can I customize fonts and colors throughout my ebook?
Yes. In Project Settings you can set your brand color, heading font, body font, and custom watermark. These apply to the entire ebook. The Cover Designer supports multiple Google Fonts and full colour customisation for covers.
How do I add my personal branding?
In Project Settings, set your brand colours, choose fonts, and add a custom watermark. Premium users can remove the Inkfluence watermark entirely and use their own branding. All branding carries through to PDF, EPUB, and DOCX exports.

Audiobooks & Voice

How do I generate audiobook chapters?
Open the Audiobooks tab inside your project, pick from 9 narrator voices (preview each one first), select the chapters you want, and click Generate Audio. Generation runs in the background so you can keep editing while it processes., Creator and Premium plans include audiobook chapter credits each month.
Can I download audiobook files?
Yes. Each generated chapter can be downloaded as an individual MP3, or you can merge multiple chapters into a single full-length audiobook file and download that as a ZIP. Metadata is included so you can upload directly to distribution platforms.
What voices are available?
There are 9 AI narrator voices: Alloy (neutral), Ash (clear male), Coral (warm female), Echo (expressive male), Fable (British male), Nova (energetic female), Onyx (deep male), Sage (composed female), and Shimmer (vibrant female). You can preview each voice before generating.

Export & Publishing

What export formats are available?
PDF (best for sharing and lead magnets), EPUB (for Kindle and other eReaders), and DOCX (for further editing in Word or Google Docs). All formats include your cover, table of contents, and formatting. Free plan exports PDF only. Creator adds EPUB. Premium unlocks all three.
How do I publish on Amazon Kindle?
Export as EPUB, then upload directly to Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). Your file includes professional formatting, cover, and metadata. For PDF lead magnets, share the download link from Gumroad, your website, or email.
Can I customize export settings?
Yes. When exporting you can add author name, website, copyright details, chapter numbering style (numeric, roman, or none), table of contents toggle, and copyright page position (beginning or end).

Templates & Examples

What book blueprints are available?
Inkfluence offers 27 specialised blueprints: practical guide, lead magnet, workbook, recipe book, biography, fiction, children's fiction, playbook, email course, checklist pack, study guide, course companion, social strategy, industry report, list book, devotional, Q&A book, workout plan, technical docs, true crime, travel guide, romance novel, inspirational guide, health guide, personal development, and custom (freeform). The AI selects the best one based on your description, or you can choose manually.

Productivity Tips

How does auto-save work?
Your work is saved automatically every few seconds as you type. A "Saved" indicator appears in the header when changes are synced. All data is stored securely in the cloud, so you can pick up from any device.
Can I access my projects from multiple devices?

Troubleshooting

What happens if I delete a project?
Deleted projects are permanently removed and cannot be recovered. Always export important projects as PDF or EPUB backups before deleting.

Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge (latest versions). The web app also works on mobile browsers, though the desktop experience is optimised for writing. There is also a native iOS app on the App Store.
Why is my generation slow or failing?
Full book generation typically takes 2-5 minutes depending on length. Individual AI enhancements take a few seconds. If something fails, check your internet connection and try again. If the issue persists, email hello@inkfluenceai.com.
How do I contact support?
Email hello@inkfluenceai.com or use the contact form at inkfluenceai.com/contact. We typically respond within 24 hours on business days. Premium users receive priority support.
